"Why not? I can easily kill them," Emily said. "I just need a well-planted shot."
"There is no need. The missing patrols will already raise so alarms. If we also kill the barrier masters' guards, things will beco ssier. Let's give them the illusion the barrier masters are safe..."
A Chimaeric Demon nodded. "They will realize only after we destroy the barriers' generators."
That was what Amber was thinking. If they killed the guards, they would need to hide them, which ant increasing the chances they could be found out. There were already too many bodies around left by Emily. Adding so more would just be detrintal.
Besides, each person they killed was a person less that answered to the radio.
The group pressed forward until they arrived a couple of buildings from the target. More bodies marked their path, which they then hid. However, Amber's unease increased. "In position," she said.
The Chimaeric Demons turned into mosquitoes and went to the window. Aside from the barrier masters, there was no one in the room, which was quite strange considering how important these six guys were.
Then they circled around the building, trying to find entry points. The last thing they needed was to find themselves trapped there, with blackguards chasing them, and without knowing from where the reinforcents might co.
In truth, aside from the service doors, there were also maintenance hatches and ventilation systems-the structure offered multiple options for those who knew where to look.
"Maybe we can avoid using warp," a Chimaeric Demon said.
"Maybe, but since I can't shapeshift, I have no way to enter unseen. The best thing would be to simply teleport. We go in, kill, and go out."
Amber didn't like how it sounded. The plan made them seem like cold-blooded murderers. Yes, they killed people, but only because they were fighting a war-one where their country, their lives, and their families faced annihilation.
June kept looking around. A glorified lookout, but a lookout nonetheless.
"Em," he said. "There is a patrol heading here. You might want to take care of them."
She turned and saw five people coming toward her building.
"I definitely want."
Contrary to Amber, Emily had fewer reservations about killing people, especially because, as a sniper, she wasn't forced to get close to the brutality of the fight.
That was also one of the reasons that brought her to ask Erik to get the ti-controlling brain crystal power he got from Vex. It wasn't only to get stronger, but also to avoid the ugly side of fighting.
It didn't take much before she really took care of the newcors. The sounds of the battle near the walls covered that of her rifle, but if one was close, they might have heard her. Five new bodies were littering the ground. It was just that there would be no one to hide them from sight.
"June, can you take care of it?"
"Yes." The clone flew, unaware that soone else was getting to Emily's position.
Erik raced through the Law Gate's streets, his Phantom Veil brain crystal power keeping him hidden. He made little more than a disturbance in the air, and even that could not be noticed easily.
The closer he got to the hangar, the denser the military presence beca. Soldiers ran towards it, not because of the hangar itself, which certainly grabbed everyone's attention, but even because the hangar was close to the walls, where the real battle, from their point of view, was happening.
The sounds of battle grew louder, aning both that he was getting closer to the walls and that the fight was getting heated. Luckily for the Chimaeric Demons, Erik gave them Monica's power; otherwise, it would have been them on the other side of those brain crystal-powered
cannons.
